Diagnostic criteria (One of the following criteria)		Grading of recommendations	Quality of evidence
1	A fragility vertebral or hip fracture	I	B
2	T-score ≤ −2.5a	I	B
3	T-score between −1.0 and −2.5 and a 10-year probability of hip fracture ≥ 3%b	IIa	B
4	T-score between −1.0 and −2.5 and a fragility fracture of the proximal humerus, pelvis, or distal forearm	IIa	C

^aT-score at the l-spine, femoral neck, total hip, or distal 1/3 radius (l-spine and hip are the preferred sites for BMD measurement).
